What's your view of improper rebadging a car ?

[rustytoolss]

I have a 62 Fury wagon, The badges are old and worn. The orginal Fury bages were somewhat plain. I've been thinking of rebadging it as a " Sport Fury " ..and yes I know there is no such thing as a " Sport Fury" Wagon, But those badges look so much nicer...Thoughts ? Also Orginal 62 badge are few and $$$$$. This car is not a Barret Jackson grade car..just a fun driver., 318 poly.

It's your car and only you can answer that question.

If your talking about changing tags that contain a VIN number then I personally wouldn't do it, however you wouldn't be the first or the last to do something like that.

What better Sport Fury is there than one you can get laid in the back? Go for it!

Did some cloning on two vehicles I restored, my 1st was a well-optioned Cutlass Supreme vert adding some 442 features. Dual exhaust, rally gauges, wheel, etc. though ended up selling it before I was done to have cash for the ride I still have, ’63 Fury. I was looking for buckets, console, floor shift, hood. The 350 was rebuilt and stepped up for more HP. It went plenty quick for me nixing a BB. Never badged it as a 442 and hadn’t planned to. As for the Fury, added some SF features obtaining buckets, console, re-done interior SF style. Added a few other things that were available on police cars. Keeping it plain Fury badging.

I know a guy who added GTO badging on a Lemans. Lol, he always gets the comments from lookers who can spot the difference, he gets the “This ain’t a real GTO; hope you didn’t think it was when you bought it.” Lol, those who don’t know, give him the kudos thinking it’s the real deal.

As mentioned, it is YOUR car and your choice. Plenty of people do the badging.

I added the Satellite/GTX (red/white/blue) grille badge to the grille of my 67 Belvedere wagon. I like the look on an otherwise very plain looking grille. Oh, and it completely covers a nasty gouge on the wide center horizontal bar of my grille.

 

[retractable]

Do it. Your car an sport wagon is rare..

I didn't even know that's a GTX thing.. i just thought cars of a certain year got that...

When it comes to any 62 Plymouth, I doubt anyone would even question it. There were variations on the trim by model as well as by production date. For example, I know at the start of the model year, the Savoy and Belvedere had a single tail light on each side, the Fury had two on each side, and the Sport Fury had three on each side. But, if backup lights were ordered on a Savoy or Belvedere, that meant two on each side with the inner ones being the backup lights. The Fury had the inner ones on each side as backup lights standard. The Sport Fury had the middle ones on each group of three as backup lights (though some sources say it was the inner most ones on the Sport Fury that were the backup lights). Mid year, the Fury got three tail lights on each side like the Sport Fury and is most often seen with the middle one in each group of three being the backup lights.

Then there was the concern by dealers that the car wasn't selling because it had no body line or trim tying the front of the car to the back of the car. So a narrow piece of trim that ran front to back was added to the Fury and Sport Fury lines mid year, and when it was added, the wide front fender trim on the Fury was replaced with narrow trim from the Sport Fury. That made the Fury and Sport Fury look the same. There's just too many variations in the 62 trim to make anyone certain any specific 62 Plymouth is right or wrong. When it comes down to it, the only certain difference between a 62 Fury and a 62 Sport Fury is that the Sport Fury had bucket seats. Add bucket seats to your wagon, and people will think that just maybe the factory did offer a Sport Fury wagon in 62.

These two 62 Furys were at the Ocean City cruise a couple weeks ago. Both are Furys not Sport Furys. But both have the three tail lights on each side. The body moldings are different. The red one is earlier production and the black one is later production. Not sure if the three tail light arrangement on the red car is factory original or a later modification.

MILK it..... Yes, M.I.L.K. ( Make It Look Kool ! )

I turned my 1967 Coronet 440 wagon into an R/T one, complete with bucket seat interior and 440, 4-speed. Most people realized that Chrysler never built such an animal, but enjoyed it anyways.

As for front seats, My wagon 's front seat was redone before I bought it. So it will be staying as a bench ( power bench..added Cadillac power track )
